@Larro Thanks for the feedback, your comments make sense for sure. Would the changed deck as suggested perform better? No clue - needs playtesting.
I try to get 2 different kind of cheap ETRs early. Roto is the cheapest ETR sentry out there. Draco is nice with Making News, but it's not strictly ETR - and the deck aims to take advantage of the "no breakers bottleneck". RSVP-Draco sounds fun, but inside job + some cash gets you in...
I really like SFS. But that's probably cause I hate getting siphoned to death.
That is a positive change for sure if the deck has some influence to spare.
This change would be questionable. Without any big and mean ICE R&D is a liability. If I had to cut Thorns for influence, I would simply go with +2 Tollbooth as a replacement. |

This deck honestly seems pretty patched-together and janky to me. There are a lot of parts that have antisynergy with one another-- for instance, you have a breaker destruction plan, but run Paper Wall. You're playing NBN but you have Wall of Thorns instead of Tollbooth or TMI. You have only 4 traces in the entire deck. In general I think that conventional NBN decks have a lot of exciting angles to take with new cards like Sweeps Week and Paper Wall, but this really isn't one of them. |

That's a well made point. However I don't thik it is that big of a deal - even if Corroder kills one Paper before going down it is not the end of the world, right?
I listed ICE which can give R&D reasonable protection: archer, eli, both ichis, tollbooth, wall of thorns etc. and assesd their weaknesses. Archer needs agenda, bioroids clickable, Tollbooth femmeable with the single subroutine, Tsurugi dies to parasite. I reasoned WoT will always tax the runner + it gives dmg on the first encounter usually.
I don't see it as a weakness. Relying too much on a single game mechanic can hurt. If someone plays link against this deck, that's fine. |

I played a bit with your deck. I like the combo RSVP and then Cadeceus. What troubled me, was that the runner was getting a lot of tags [bernice may usually] but I couldn't actually punish him. That closed accounts X1 is not enough I guess. |

I'd love to run 2x Closed Accounts, but no clue what to cut. The old fashioned resource trash for a click and 2$ is a main tag punish. Also if you stick a tag with Bernice and have a punish chance, it usually means the runner is not too good... Bernice is just a pesky taxing card, perfect to place along with SanSan behind RSVP. Sticking a tag for punishment is done only with Breaking News - Bernice and TGTBT simply tax the runner. |

You are wrong. I could stick a tag with Bernice/TGTBT with 'false lead', which I forgot to mention that I added it to the deck. |
I love the deck, but my thoughts are this -
Is Roto worth the influence? You could cut 2x Roto and Wall of Thorns for 2x Ash, to replace Bernice. and SfS which I would cut entirely (and add a 2nd Closed Accounts).
Suggested changes could be change the Barriers to -2 Thorns for +2 Bastion, -2 Roto for +2 Draco, -1 Bernice, -2 SfS for +2 ASH, +1 Closed Accounts.
Would play similarly, Draco works fine with Roto and costs less to Res + doesn't auto-die to Parasite, and synergizes w/ RSVP.
Overall, I love the deck. Excellent archetype. Shutdown is a real rockstar.
